A Forgiving God Lyrics:

Verse 1
I left my Father when I was young
Wanted the world so I spent it all
Searching for something I didn't know
Was under the roof of my Father's home

Chorus 1
But He's never broke a promise
Listen 'cause He's calling
Jesus says He wants ya
He's a forgiving God

Interlude 1
He's a forgiving God
He's a forgiving God
He's a forgiving God
He's a forgiving God
He's a forgiving God
He's a forgiving God

Verse 2
I've sinned against Him more ways than one
Didn't deserve to be called His son
No greater love have I ever known
My Father ran to me, said welcome home

Chorus 2
And He's never broke a promise
Listen 'cause He's calling
Jesus says He wants ya
He's a forgiving God
No longer have to wander
Calling sons and daughters
After all He is the Father
He's a forgiving God

Bridge 1
He's been sitting on the porch
Awaiting your arrival

He'll come running out to meet you
And throw His arms around you
He's a forgiving God
He's been sitting on the porch
Awaiting your arrival
You've never left His heart
He's always thinking of you
He'll come running out to meet you
And throw His arms around you
He's a forgiving God
He's been sitting on the porch
Awaiting your arrival
You've never left His heart
He's always thinking of you
He'll come running out to meet you
And throw His arms around you
He's a forgiving God
He's been sitting on the porch
Awaiting your arrival
You've never left His heart
He's always thinking of you
He'll come running out to meet you
And throw His arms around you
He's a forgiving God
